Is Deer Antler Velvet Really An Aphrodisiac? Here’s the Truth!

When Deer Antler Velvet first came on the radar of the Western world, it gained notoriety for it's reputed aphrodisiac qualities. Unfortunately, this probably hindered it's acceptance by obscuring it's far more wide reaching benefits for general health. Many people simply dismissed it as a legitimate health product, which perhaps sheds some light on why it has taken so long to become accepted in the West - particularly in the United States.

In traditional Chinese medicine, support for a healthy libido was just one of many accepted benefits of this nutrient-dense superfood supplement, mainly as an indirect benefit of bringing the vital forces of the body into balance, resulting in better general health and vitality. After all, when the body is under stress, sex drive is one of the first things to suffer.

Some studies indicate that antler may increase testosterone levels and can help prevent some conditions associated with ageing (Fisher and Wang), and Russian researchers claim that compounds found in antler can ease the effects of menopause in women, but despite suggestions by some websites, deer velvet is not specifically used as an 'aphrodisiac' in traditional Chinese medicine in the generally accepted Western understanding of the term.

The regular use of a quality deer antler velvet extract supplement such as VelPure will definitely support healthy sexual function as a consequence of generally improved health and vitality, but we prefer not to market deer velvet specifically as an 'aphrodisiac', simply because we feel it only serves to distract from it's many other scientifically supported and reported health benefits.

So, if you're looking for a viagra substitute... and want to be able to simply pop a pill and perform in the bedroom like a stud half an hour later - you will likely be disappointed in deer velvet.
